Warning: New Netscape browser privacy issue

Posted by medlib on March 14, 2002, at 22:52:06

Hi all--

Those of you concerned about privacy in posting might be interested in the nasty new trick that Netscape has packaged in Navigator 6. When you do a search from the Address (URL) line or from the Search box on the "My Sidebar" section, Netscape captures your search on a central company server, including, also, your IP, the date your browser was installed and its unique product ID number.

FYI, Google captures search data, too, but personal ID info is not included.
